Rangers Young Star Prepared To Enter Season Without Extension
Gabe Perreault is walking into the final year of his entry-level contract without a new deal in place, and he insists it isn't weighing on him at all. "I'm not focused on that at all," Perreault said when asked whether he's thinking about a future extension. "I'll kind of let my agent handle that, and we're just going to focus on day-by-day and having a big year. It'll take care of itself." Rangers GM Chris Drury declined to share any details when asked about the state of negotiations be...
Maple Leafs GM Warns Teams Will Regret Some Of NHL's Massive Contracts
The NHL's salary cap is exploding, and Toronto Maple Leafs GM John Chayka thinks the league is about to find out which teams handled that windfall wisely and which ones didn't. Speaking to The Canadian Press , Chayka offered a candid read on the spending spree that's defined this offseason. "GMs are viewing this as an opportunity to create some stability and security," Chayka said. "The trade-off of that is the risk. You'll look back and some teams are going to be really happy, some of t...

Tampa Bay Lighting Have Multiple Trade Offers Rejected
The Tampa Bay Lightning have been working the phones trying to pull of a preseason trade, but turns out they've had zero luck finding a trade partner. The Lightning have been trying to move goaltender Jonas Johansson since they've acquired Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier in the offseason.

Ex-Oilers Stanley Cup Champion Mark Messier 'Horrified' With Mike Babcock Hiring
Once considered top-tier Stanley Cup contenders, the Edmonton Oilers experienced turnover in the front office once ex-general manager Ken Holland's contract expired. Holland made some controversial moves throughout his career, including collecting veterans like infinity stones. Somehow his teams managed to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals twice at the end of his five-year tenure in Edmonton. They were defeated by a tougher, faster Florida Panthers team both times, and after Holland's co...
2 Veteran Goalies Top List Of Waiver Wire Additions On Wednesday
Everyone applauded the NHL's decision to cut down on the number of preseason games this year. Nobody wants to see players get injured in these exhibition games that don't count. Yet... Injuries have been piling up around the league. Just ask the Buffalo Sabres . Things were looking even more troublesome for the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night when starting goalie Dan Vladar was forced to leave the exhibition game in the first period with an undisclosed injury. Fortunately, the news t...
Senators Get Tough Update on Artem Zub Timeline
The news is not great for the Ottawa Senators on top-pairing defenseman Artem Zub. He hasn't been working out at camp due to a knee injury from last season's playoffs that still hasn't healed, and head coach Travis Green has confirmed that “ I don’t see him being ready to start the season with where he’s at right now." Travis Green says he doesn't see Artem Zub "being ready to start the season." #Sens Still has a lingering knee injury from the playoff series against the Hurricanes. — Bru...
UFA Logan Stanley Waits For A Call After 2 Sabres Defensemen Injured
The Buffalo Sabres already find themselves in a bit of a bind. Two key defensemen are now out with injuries from preseason action. Could this create an opening for the return of unsigned unrestricted free agent Logan Stanley? Owen Zellweger was levelled Tuesday night by Carson Soucy, and has officially been diagnosed with a concussion. Oh no Olen Zellweger gets hit hard by Carson Soucy and stays down on the ice for a while pic.twitter.com/xvs1uGCA7w — Crossing Swords ⚔️ (@CrossSwordsPod...
VIDEO: Flyers' Daniel Vladar Injured During Preseason Game
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Daniel Vladar left Tuesday's preseason game with an upper-body injury. Against the Boston Bruins, Vladar mishandled a dump in into the Flyers' zone, and eventually tried to gather the puck, and meanwhile Bruins' pesky forward Tanner Jeannot made contact with Vladar's right arm. It didn't look good, and considering Vladar's health history, there's certainly a level of concern in Philly that's not exactly ideal heading into the season opener next week. Vladar could...
3 Rangers Stars Could Hit Trade Market If Season Goes Sideways
The New York Rangers have already torn down much of the core that took them to the Eastern Conference Final two years ago. According to insider David Pagnotta , an even more dramatic phase of that overhaul could be waiting if the season starts badly. "I am very curious to see how the first quarter of the season goes for the New York Rangers," Pagnotta said. "If it goes to dog crap, I fully expect, I'm not saying it's gonna happen, I'm just saying if this were to happen at the quarter mar...
Devils Reveal Stance On Trading For Connor Hellebuyck
The New Jersey Devils have been one of the natural landing spots whenever Connor Hellebuyck's name comes up in trade rumors. GM Sunny Mehta just made clear that's not necessarily how he sees it. Asked about his approach to goaltending in an interview with NHL.com , Mehta gave a blunt answer. "Goaltending has changed dramatically during the past 20 years. Starters and backups are extremely talented, which can make performance difficult to predict," Mehta said. "Because there is randomness...
$49 Million Rangers Defenseman Breaks Silence On Trade Rumors
Vladislav Gavrikov finally addressed the trade speculation that's followed him all summer. He didn't shut it down. Speaking with the New York Post on September 22, Gavrikov was asked about his future and the rumors surrounding it after a first season with the New York Rangers that looked nothing like what either side signed up for. "Well, probably no one in the locker room was happy with how we ended up during the season and everything," Gavrikov said. What He Actually Said, And Wh...

Western Conference Team Urged To Make Big Pitch For Hellebuyck
With all the talk about the Buffalo Sabres and the Carolina Hurricanes, there's a team out West that should think long and hard about swinging a deal for Connor Hellebuyck.

The 2026-27 NHL season is upon us, and when it comes to the early-season trade market, keep an eye on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Pittsburgh Penguins' Ben Kindel Suffers Lower-Body Injury
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Monday night that center Ben Kindel suffered a lower-body injury against the Buffalo Sabres. Kindel left Monday's game after the first period, and it was unclear exactly what caused the injury. Kindel did crash into the net earlier in the period, and was a little slow to get up. While he managed to still play the rest of the period, many are pointing to this instance as the reason. Kindel isn't expected to suit up on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings, and...
Blues Letting Teams Know Multiple Players Are Available
The St. Louis Blues have a numbers problem at forward, and according to Elliotte Friedman, the team isn't waiting around for it to sort itself out on its own. "One thing I kind of heard is that in St. Louis, for example, they have a bunch of NHL guys who are kind of in the bottom six, and not all of them are going to make their team," Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts Podcast . "And I think the Blues have let it be known that if you want some NHL depth, deeper in your roster, guys who've played...
Penguins Roster Crunch Could Force Trade Before Opening Night
The Pittsburgh Penguins have an unusual problem heading into training camp: too much of a good thing up front, and not quite enough on the back end. Pittsburgh currently has somewhere between 17 and 18 players who could reasonably play NHL minutes at forward, for a roster that realistically only has 13 spots to give. The Penguins have re-signed restricted free agent forward Ville Koivunen to an eight-year contract. — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) August 6, 2026 Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust, Ric...
Avalanche Building Toward Trade Deadline Move
The Colorado Avalanche don't think there's a clean answer to replacing Valeri Nichushkin. According to Denver Post insider Corey Masisak , part of their plan is to simply wait and see what the trade deadline offers instead. Asked how Colorado moves forward without the two-way winger, goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood didn't sugarcoat it. "I don't know that you do," Blackwood said. "I think there's guys that will fill roles and take positions, but I don't think you necessarily get a new Vale...
'Only A Matter Of Time' Before Auston Matthews Teams Up With Gavin McKenna—Maple Leafs Analyst

Not a bad spot to be in your first NHL experience, by any measure. But with the skill McK...
Sharks Are The Last Team In The NHL Without An Ad On Their Jersey
The San Jose Sharks ' future is bright, as they've accumulated talent across their lineup and recently signed first-round pick Ivar Stenberg. General manager Mike Grier has set up the team for success as an eventual contender in the NHL, if Macklin Celebrini can be the one to help lead them into April and beyond once he matures as a leader.
